Recipe #3... Suspicious of Spinach

Note: Spinach, in my opinion, is the easiest green to disguise in the Vitamix.  It doesn't have a strong "freshly cut grass" taste, and is especially hidden by adding citrus and berries (color).  This particular recipe makes no attempt to disguise the color of the smoothie... so you may have some suspicious slurpers!


Suspicious of Spinach
Makes two-ish
**I am not a nutritionist, and I guesstimate portions.

1/2 c Plain Coconut Water + some extra to help it blend later
1/2 c Plain Greek Yogurt (though lemon would be good)
2 Sweet Oranges
A Giant's handful of spinach
1 Spoonful of Honey (Raw and Local helps counter allergies)
8ish Frozen Strawberries
1/2 c Frozen Pineapple
1 c Ice (big cubes, so it's usually only about 5 or 6)

Relax, a little green-ness never hurt anyone... ask Kermit!
